Does the BFC shrunk halve the distance an object can be thrown.
The rules state:
Quote
Regardless of the attacker’s range, light objects can be thrown 8
squares; heavy objects, 6 squares.
Shrunk States:
Quote
All range values are halved, as is the range of all effects that have a range.
At first, it seems like yes, it would halve the distance, but the rules don't have a range description to the thrown objects. It simply says they can be thrown such and such distance.

Can I get a Confirmation?
Thanks.
The range value is a number printed on the base of a figure followed by at least one . When you throw an object, you don't use your ranged value. So you would be able to throw them the full distance (6-8squares depending on light or heavy) even if Shrunk is in play.

Not quite.
You are correct that thrown objects do not have anything to do with a character's range value. However, Shrunk reads:
All characters with the damage symbol have the damage symbol instead. All range values are halved, as is the range of all effects that have a range.
Throwing an object is a game effect that has range. You would use half the normal range of the object if Shrunk was in play.
Here is an interesting follow up question. I have the nice crate and I want to throw it will the BFC Shrunk in place. I should be able to throw it 5 square right. The standard 4 squares for a light object and the extra square because the crate rules say I can throw it two additional squares or can I throw 6 squares?

As of the last Player's Guide, the crate has errata that specifically says it can be thrown 10 squares. You would be able to throw it 5 squares with Shrunk in play.
Does Shrunk also affect the radius of the Minion powers, reducing them to 4?
For that matter, does "SQUARES" equate "RANGE"?

Minion: We Follow the Strongest: When a friendly character named Ulik is within 8 squares, Rock Troll can use Charge and modifies its attack value by +1.

Perplex
Once during your turn (but not during another action), as a free action this character modifies by +1 or –1 any combat value (including range) of a target character until the beginning of your next turn (it can target itself). A character using this power must be within 10 squares of the target and have a clear line of fire to the target. This effect ends immediately if this character loses Perplex or is defeated, or when the target is damaged or healed.
Yeah, it's the same wording. The effect would be considered to have a range.
